Bhai Gurdas

Scholar, poet, and scribe of the Sikh tradition. He penned the original Adi Granth under Guru Arjan's dictation in 1604. He was present at the compilations, the building of the Harmandir Sahib, and five of the ten Gurus' lives. Guru Arjan called his Vars (ballads) "the key to the Guru Granth Sahib."

On their voice

16th–17th century Punjab. He was a witness, not a throne-holder — the man behind the pen at the most sacred moment in Sikh history. His Vars contain philosophy, history, and theology. He understood what it meant to hold the pen correctly at that moment.
